Currently building the agent2 from source we're getting about this:
$ ./bootstrap.sh; ./configure --enable-agent2 --enable-static; make $ ll src/go/bin/ total 23316 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 2 19:02 ./ drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Sep 2 19:01 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26 Sep 2 18:57 .gitignore -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4043600 Sep 2 19:01 mock_server* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 19812776 Sep 2 19:02 zabbix_agent2* ```
Adding "-s -w" to 'go build -ldflags="-s -w"' si trimming is somewhat
$ ls -la src/go/bin/ total 16308 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 2 19:15 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Sep 2 19:06 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26 Sep 2 18:57 .gitignore -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2888912 Sep 2 19:15 mock_server -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13784664 Sep 2 19:15 zabbix_agent2
Now with adding upx ( https://upx.github.io/ ) this can be brought down way more. I have had it running for a week now and didn't experience drawbacks (thought I haven't tested it on a broad range of targets).
